*Lady Gaga* is getting tons of love and support as she works through the chronic pain that caused her to postpone the European leg of her tour – including a special honor by the Miss Gay America pageant! The pageant’s owner, *Michael Dutzer*, posted a photo on Friday (September 29) presenting the _Joanne_ singer-songwriter with the first-ever honorary Miss Gay America crown earlier in the month.

“First we would like to wish @ladygaga the best as she recovers from an injury. On Sept 10 we presented Lady Gaga with a Miss Gay America crown, making her the first honorary Miss Gay America. We love *Gaga* for all she’s done for the LGBTQ community, especially our youth, so we thought this would be a great way to honour her for championing self-acceptance, diversity and the beauty in everyone’s mirror,” he wrote.
